when renting an apt or condo in Cuenca what by pele6254
documents do you need to present or is just cut and dry.. pay the landlord/realtor and that's it?? Also we were looking at cuecarealestate.com we want to know if anyone has done business with them as we like a few apartments on their website. Thank ...

Fallout from Asylum by BobH
It may be difficult to discuss this issue without getting extremely political (and IÂ’m sure there are a wide range of political views represented here, as in any group like this), but letÂ’s try. If Ecuador gives Edwin Snowden asylum (regardless of ...

Anybody living in Vilcabamba or Loja? by ActionMgt
You never see anything posted about Vilcabamba or Loja on this forum. Just wondering if anybody lives there that could tell me what it's like, if they like it there, and what the availability might be for renting a 2 bedroom small house with 2 ...
In the past year or so, I've had enough of "things." I'm preparing to get my possessions down to a minimum, not merely because I'm interested in Ecuador, but for religious reasons (it's a Catholic thing). Simplicity is the way for me to go now. All ... Read More
Dog Breeds in Ecuador by starrbitz
I'm thinking about moving to Ecuador and do not currently own a dog, but would like to have once I arrive. How does one find dogs of specific breeds in Ecuador? Does anyone know if Australian Cattle Dogs/Australian Blue Heelers or other cattle dogs ...
